Codenames vs Eldritch horror

And I found it really hard to keep track of which words were mine - I had to write them onto a piece of paper and make sure my words didn't relate too much to my opponent's, otherwise your partner might guess a word that is for the opposing team! Not even sure where that timer comes into play because we took forever in giving and guessing clues. I guess because words can be interpreted in so many different ways and there are so many different patterns, you can use this set for some time before it gets old. I kind of feel silly now because I thought this was a strategy board game - I sent one to somebody for Secret Santa … hopefully they liked it? I do agree that this game would be better suited for older teens and adults. Not sure if I can see younger children getting into it

I think it's fantastic that someone who started their design career with something as niche as TtA has managed to produce one of the few true breakouts into mass market popularity from hobby boardgaming with Codenames. Such a simple, fun, and *teachable* design that can get almost any group enjoying themselves within a few minutes.

- Winning or losing is almost always very close, which means the game has just the right difficulty and all numbers/items/possible actions are brilliantly designed. - I also like the idea of having a cooperative game, where we all play against the game instead of against each other. The game requires a great deal of cooperation and coordination among the players in order to win, which makes it a great team building activity. - The game is scalable: possible actions and number of items changes depending on the number of players involved

It's a game that simultaneously feels like it's not long enough -- like I want there to be more strategic depth -- but also too long for the amount that's actually present. Maybe I would like it more if I reduced the starting health to say, 40 or even 30. I've really only gotten a good response from one person that I've taught it to. Maybe it's just not for my group

therefore we win. It's a conflict. Do we win, or lose? According to the reference guide under "Conflicts" pg 4, "If multiple effects would be resolved at the same time, [my 3rd mystery solved therefore win, mythos deck empty therefore we lose] the active player decides the order in which they are resolved." So it looks like I could choose that the mystery was solved before I had to flip the next card, therefore I win

It was too long. It's too big used to take you about six hours to play this one. If you've got the core set, you can knock this one out in about an ho...

Even though it says for 2 players - the play is greatly diminished in fun. It's more like one person plays and the other person sits there. LOL. booo

Although there is a lot of fun extra stuff to add into it, and it is an epic game. But epic games are often really fun and interesting. I love this ga...

My friends and I play codenames online using a voice chat and have had a long standing disagreement about whether or not Googling should be allowed or not in codenames. Now, I have no issue with the occasional Google search in casual codenames. But my friends pretty much rely exclusively on Google to come up with their words and to decode them, and especially so during our server tournaments (where the hosts allow Googling).

I won't be doing number ratings as I find categorising perfume in such a way to be very uninformative and misleading at best.

In: **Isle of Cats, Red Rising, Parks, Racoon Tycoon, Splendor, Trails, Arboretum, The Crew, Deep Vents, Codenames, Codenames Duet, LLAMA, Friday, Wits and Wagers**, and a nicely kept 1962 copy of **Mille Bornes**

The way the different enemies behave, the way the cards synergise with each other and between players, the legacy elements...it's suddenly rewarding
